Introduction to the Full-Text Search

The full-text search functionality in Therefore™ is powered by dtSearch, and allows you to search for documents which contain specific text strings.  

Requirements for full-text searching within Therefore™:

  • During the Therefore™ installation the Full-Text Search feature must be selected.

  • Additionally, a language for the noise-word list (e.g. "I", "am") must be specified. These words will be excluded from the indexing.

Info Icon Note:

  • This list can be edited if required

  • Some of the available language pairs which will exclude noise words from both languages.

Besides out-of-the box support for a large number of file formats Therefore™ offers full-text searching on a number of image formats.

To activate this functionality, open the full-text search settings and select the OCR languages. By default, image-only PDFs and TIFs are included, but other image types can also be included under the advanced full-text settings.

By default a new category is activated for full-text. If required, this can be deactivated under the category's advanced settings.

  • The full-text service checks for new documents every 45 minutes, but can be manually started in the Therefore™ Console by stopping and then starting the service.
